Yahoo Business Express Service Results
Thank you to everyone on this list who wrote to me with
instructions for using Yahoo's Business Express Service.
Yahoo's Business Express service is very straightforward.
They are promising editorial review (and nothing more) of
your site within 7 business days of submission. The cost is
$199.
Your site must be appropriate for inclusion in one of appx.
37 subcategories under Business and Economy:Companies. (The
complete list is here:
<http://www.yahoo.com/info/suggest/categories.html>)
I submitted a site for a project I am involved with on
Saturday afternoon (2/20/99). The site to be submitted
<http://www.anaconda.net> exists to sell CGI that makes
running an Amazon.com Associate Program Bookstore
easier/more profitable. I chose Business and
Economy:Companies:Computers:Software:Internet:World_Wide_Web
as the suggested subcategory for the listing.
The interface accepted my credit card as the last step in
the suggestion process and a confirmation email with a
unique order id was immediately sent to me.
By Tuesday afternoon (2/23/99) I had my response - they
decided to enter my site in their directory. They indicated
in the response that the site should appear within 2 - 4
days.
Had my site been rejected, there is a nice aspect of the
service where you can request one reconsideration of your
site at no charge. If your site is rejected they promise to
tell you why they rejected it. Presumably if the reasons
are repairable you could address them and ask for
reconsideration.
They have a great FAQ for this service now at
<http://help.yahoo.com/help/bizex/>.
I'll follow up in a couple of weeks to let you what kind of
impact the listing on Yahoo has on our CGI site and
subsequent sales.
